About Logging

The VCS provides an event logging facility for troubleshooting and auditing purposes. The event log records information about such things as calls, registrations, and messages sent and received.

The VCS logging facility allows you to:

specify the amount of information that is logged. This is done by changing the event log level

copy the event log to a remote syslog server.

About Remote Logging

The event log is always stored locally on the VCS. However, it is often convenient to collect copies of all event logs from various systems in a single location. A computer running a BSD-style syslog server, as defined in RFC 3164 [4], may be used as the central log server.

A VCS will not act as a central logging server for other systems.

Enabling Remote Logging

To enable remote logging, you must configure the VCS with the address of the central log server to which the event log will be copied. To do this:

System Configuration > Logging.

You will be taken to the Logging page.

xConfiguration Log Server Address

Events will be always logged locally (i.e. to the Event Log) regardless of whether or not remote logging has been enabled.

Remote syslog server

Enter the IP address or FQDN of the server to which the log will be written.

This server must support the BSD syslog protocol. It cannot be another VCS.
